In a custom install of RH 7 (english) using the pcmcia.img on a Toshiba 
Dynabook 2100 with a Xircom CreditCard 10/100Mps card running Win 98 
Japanese on the first partition, after Disk Druid and user accounts etc. 
after 2-3 minutes copying Red Hat files from the Win partition the 
installation process terminates with an error message (see below).

I have tried three times now.

Thanks!

The hard drive image you are installing from is missing files, or has corrupt files.
